nike fashion: looking towards the U.S. Open

With barely a break in between the grass and hardcourt seasons (the grass at Wimbledon hasn’t even grown back yet!) we turn to what fashion is in store for us this summer.

Nike has positioned itself for the months leading up to the U.S. Open by designing a fall ’07 Heritage Collection inspired by their men’s fashion darling, Roger Federer.

The Federer crest has changed from the lion to Lady Liberty. The three crowns (symbolizing his three Open titles) stay the same.

At Flushing Meadows, the site of the U.S. Open, Federer’s kit will likely include the Argon (royal blue) polo pictured above or something in a similar style. The Heritage collection also includes a track jacket in Obsidian (navy blue), a return of the reversible plaid shorts but with in Argon instead of Obsidian, and a cool Lady Liberty/Federer/NYC t-shirt.
